My parents were married for 33 years.
I never once heard the word “divorce” spoken in our home.
Not during disagreements, money problems, or hard seasons. Never.
Before my wedding, my father pulled me aside and shared a few words that have stayed with me ever since….

1. "Love is the feeling. Respect is the foundation."
He told me that romantic love fluctuates like the tide. Some days you'll feel deeply connected. Other days you'll feel distant, irritated, even indifferent. This is normal. This is human.
What holds a marriage together through those fluctuations is respect. When you respect your wife, you treat her with dignity even when you don't feel loving. When she respects you, she trusts your decisions even when she disagrees. Respect doesn't fluctuate with mood. It's a constant choice, a daily decision, a foundation that weathers every storm. Build on respect. Love will come and go, but respect will keep you standing.

2. "You set the emotional tone of your home."
My father explained that a woman naturally tunes into her man's emotional state. If you come home tense, she will become anxious. If you're withdrawn, she will feel rejected. If you're peaceful, she will relax into calm. Your internal state becomes the atmosphere of your household.
This is not her fault. It's how she's wired. She absorbs what you project. Your job is not to blame her for reacting to you. Your job is to manage yourself so well that your presence becomes a source of peace, not a source of stress. The thermostat doesn't blame the thermometer for the reading. It adjusts itself.

1/ A superpower invades a small island off the coast of an enemy nation. After a short bombardment, marines seize and hold the island. 126 days later, they stage a humiliating retreat under constant fire from the mainland. This is the story of Ukraine's Snake Island. ⬇️ 
2/ With reports that the US may be considering seizing Iran's Kharg Island, it's worth reviewing what happened in Russia's disastrous attempt to capture the strategic Ostriv Zmiinyi (Snake Island) off the south-western coast of Ukraine between February and June 2022.
3/ There are of course very important differences between the two islands, but the similarities are also worth discussing.
Snake Island is a small, barren rocky outcrop of some 0.2 km², located in the Black Sea 35 km off the coast of Ukraine. It has no permanent population.

New deep dive: "Octopus Smoke and Mirrors" exposes what's really going on behind the hype at Octopus, the UK's biggest energy supplier. Spoiler: a lot of valuation puffery, restated accounts and marketing flim-flam. A thread (1/10)
Recap: Last year I asked if we'd hit "Peak Pink Octopus" after news of spinning off Kraken (their tech platform) at £10bn, valuing the whole group at £15bn. It smelled like hype before a sale which was borne out by the actual valuation of ~£6.7bn. (2/10)
Now the latest FY2025 accounts for Octopus Energy Group Limited show it fell into losses again. Investors were not on hand to provide more funding. Instead they sought to monetise their investment by demerging Kraken (3/10)

THREAD: Reports indicate a significant breakdown in the internal front in #Israel. The "Siren-to-Siren" reality is no longer just a security threat; it has fundamentally paralyzed daily life, shuttering businesses and shattering the sense of normalcy. 1/7 🧵👇
The strategy of high-frequency alerts is creating a "Siren Economy." Daily commutes and peak business hours are being systematically disrupted, leading to unprecedented economic paralysis. Many sectors are struggling to function in the fragmented gaps between alarms. 2/7
